Dynasty Warriors 7

- Try to unlock the weapons in conquest mode, the ones with the "<weapon type> master" seal as soon as you can. The sword and the halberd is absolutely sexy on just about everyone, the former has good combos and the latter turns you into Lu Bu.

- I prefer to always have the officer assassin seal on my weapons and synergy as well, but that's in the eye of the beholder.

- Battle for Supremacy is THE place to grind character sp.

- Get a buddy and co-op. This makes the game more fun and reduces the time it takes to max out characters.

- If the character has an innate <weapon type> master ability, get it ASAP as that will make them much more effective in battle.

- Lu Bu is still tank.

- Certain weapons can only be unlocked if you have smithing. Only three characters in the game have this ability: Guo Huai, Lu Meng, and Zhuge Liang. In order to buy the weapons, you gotta do it in a town while playing as one of them and obviously having the ability unlocked.
